This book studies caste and community dynamics in India and offers
a critical view of social mobility from below. Building on the
theories of the eminent sociologist M N Srinivas, the essays in
this volume reformulate the debate on caste as they document the
changing inter-caste dynamics and caste-based violence in
contemporary India. The volume showcases the new language of change
in caste relations, articulated mostly from the perspective of the
marginalised as experiences, differences, contestations, assertions
and as citizenship rights. It focusses on the clash between
traditional structures of inequality and the ideals of equality and
justice in a liberal, democratic India. It also highlights the
persistence of caste and endogamy and the interlocking nature of
caste, gender and disability, struggles of ethnic groups and
informal workers in the market economy, discrimination in the
labour market and the dissolution of dissent in the public sphere.
With contributions from leading scholars of social change and
development in India and abroad, this volume will be useful for
scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology,
minority and subaltern studies, and development studies.
